How long does it take before the bird is "happy" about the restrictive garment ?

Cool non-parrot. I've always wondered how my eclectus would handle a non-parrot. Namely a chicken. I suppose I'll find out one day.
Anyhow, not much for the whole diaper idea. I prefer having perches with some paper towels and whatnot. If your living room has nothing for your bird in it then there's something wrong.

@eliasjose99 Birds do not automatically go back to their cages to poop, so if you have a bird out for an extended period of time it is very likely that it will poop at some point. Diapers allow you to have your bird outside the cage without getting icky green blobs all over yourself, your floors, and furniture.
I have a question about your flight suit training-I have to sweet birds who bite like crazy when I put on the flight suits. One of them (conure) seems to hold a grudge against me for putting it on him. A friend said to can the suit so I don't have bird that bites. What is your suggestion (we want to use the suit).

I would still use the suit -by stopping, you will teach him that biting works. But begin by putting it on for only 30 secs at a time, & during that time, give him unlimited access to his favorite thing, a type of food or toy or something like that. If he bites, walk away for a few minutes. You can't punish, but you can withdraw attention. Then, return and give him his favorite thing again. Take the diaper off after a short while, and put him back on the cage. A few weeks of this should do it!
